Republican members of Congress on Tuesday demanded to know the individual who apparently leaked the draft Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, describing it as a violation of the law and a breach of the high court’s process.
“The breach of the Court’s deliberative process … is an appalling affront against a critical institution and should be fully investigated and those responsible should be punished,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) in a statement, adding that he supports what was written in the leaked draft.
“This entire kerfuffle has been brought about as a result of an unscrupulous person trying to subvert 235 years of tradition, trying to subvert the way the Supreme Court operates,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) told Fox News in an interview on Tuesday, releasing a statement Monday night that the Supreme Court decision is “well-reasoned” but described the leak as “damaging” and “despicable.”
